Default Achilles vs. Leonidas

I know Achilles is mostly immortal, 'cept for his foot. But who do you think has the better fighting skill? I was just thinking about this today.

I don't usually partake in these, but Leonidas would win. The King of Sparta wouldn't lose to a mere Trojan.

Achilles has great fame for his fighting prowess (providing you didn't think he was actually immortal) his weak spot was only made weak due to...Infection or something, since he never died from any other injury I'd say he would be the better fighter.

Leonidas comes from a village of strong warriors, but his strength was more from strategy than great amounts of skill.

Supposedly, Achilles had demi-god like strength and speed. Leonidas had excellent leadership skills, great courage and Spartan-like fighting ability, but he was well within human limits, which Achilles exceeded. Achilles wins, unless Leonidas stabs him behind the ankle.

This is the Leonidas and Achilles from the mythological movies 300 and Troy, not the real men or anything based off of the text books. So in this topic Achilles is immortal in the way the legend is told. But of course, Achilles would most likely win. However, immortality is not skill. From what I saw in the movie, Leonidas was much more than just a great strategist and honorable Spartan, he was a very skillful warrior, in the same likeness as Achilles himself. So I ask who would not win in a fight to the death, but who of which beholds the greater fighting skill.

Obviously you don't know your history... Achilles is Greek.

On topic, I've always considered Achilles tp be a one man army. Sure, he leads the Myrmidons, but he is in it more for his share of the glory. Leonidas was more of a commander. That's my impression from both historical fact and literate fiction.
